I work with individuals across the lifespan who are navigating mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional toll of caregiving—whether at home or in professional roles. I specialize in helping clients make sense of overwhelming thoughts and emotions, especially when anxiety, depression, or burnout have begun to interfere with daily functioning or overall well-being. I also have deep experience supporting parents as they manage the complex, often invisible demands of parenting, and healthcare professionals who are emotionally exhausted from giving so much to others.
I bring a depth of understanding to the challenges that emerge at different points in life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and work toward practical, meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals.
Reaching out for support takes courage—especially if you’re used to being the one who keeps it all together. If you're feeling tired, disconnected, or uncertain about what to do next, you're not alone. Therapy offers a space where you can step back, take a breath, and focus on you.
